The scorching slow burn we all needed!
This drama comes at a time when toxic fandom is causing a lot of harm to entertainers. The very People we claim to bring us joy and comfort.
This slow burn depicted how idols struggle to attain success. Often forced to sacrifice love or living authentically in order not to get their “fans” mad. It has some powerful commentary on how capitalism’s choke hold on art and the entertainment industry hurts all of us from the consumer to the idol.
Social commentary aside its a beautiful love story. Po barely existing after the end of a toxic relationship in which his partner just took everything he could from him, then dropping him when he did not fit his new successful life. So many people can relate, supporting your partner financially and emotionally, while neglecting yourself only to be left behind when they reach new heights. Thame just wanting to make music with his band, but only being considered a commodity to his record label and isolated from those he loves. Thame and Po are perfect for each other. They see each other, they cherish each other and build each other up.
Let’s not forget the member of Mars! Often serving as our OTPs Greek chorus are adorable and hilarious! The supporting characters are fleshed out even those we hated.
This drama had me kicking my feet, giggling and waiting for Fridays to come. If you were waiting for the finale to hit play, don’t wait anymore. Happy Watching!
